for cf7/cf8 iText is already "installed" (iText powers cfdocument, etc.) but
it's a way older version than bruno's latest & greatest. i'd try running your
code first on your production box & if it all goes ok "as is" then you're good
to go (i'm guessing this is the case if you're already running iText on your
dev
box, unless you did one of the following, you're already using cf's installed
version). if you get errors that look like version differences then what you do
next depends on whether you want to keep cfdocument, cfreport, etc. working on
that server:
- if you do (and who doesn't), i'd suggest using mark mandel's javaLoader:
http://javaloader.riaforge.org/ to "load" the iText jar instead of a straight
createObject() call (we use this technique all over the place). this method is
also nice in that it plays well on shared hosts & you can load up different
versions of jars w/out having to stop/re-start anything.
- if you don't, find cf's iText.jar (depending on server type, usually in
<cfinstall>\cfusion\lib), stop the cfserver service & copy your version of
iText
over it.
